The point of this post is - nothing is for free in this World. Pay peanuts & one gets monkeys. It is good to give others a chance, but under situations of needs in a perennial world of conflicts & Humanity shortcomings , should one go for the untested or the tried & tested? I humbly apologize to anyone who may be offended by my this post. It's not about ministers salaries, but about WHOM, although imperfect as NO mortal is perfect, can best meet our needs & lead us as an evolving Singaporean society & civilization.

The "tried and tested" has heaped unrelenting hardship upon its citizens with policies that give foreigners a huge slice of our limited pie even though our leaders claim it has always been "Singaporeans' First". Why sign away tens of thousands of PME jobs to foreigners when our own citizens are struggling to find work that commensurate with their qualifications and experience? Isn't that treason?

That is the whole problem with S'poreans who want an Opposition - just not in their constituency, in case the govt backlash results in their neighbourhood becoming a slum.

Thailand’s key economic stimulus — an almost $14 billion cash giveaway to its citizens — is poised to be abandoned by the next government under the daughter of Thaksin Shinawatra, according to local media reports.
Thaksin told the ruling Pheu Thai party and his daughter, Paetongtan Shinawatra, voted by the parliament on Friday as prime minister, to drop the plan, the Nation reported, citing a party official it didn’t identify. Earlier this week, the court disqualified previous leader Srettha Thavisin.

These newest participants of the budget meal scheme will also start accepting CDC vouchers progressively from July 1, said the Ministry of National Development and Housing Board.
The 180 coffee shops are run by nine private chain operators: Badaling, Broadway, De Tian, Chang Cheng, FoodFare Kopitiam, Kimly, Kim San Leng, Koufu and Select. They comprise 60 rental HDB coffee shops that will voluntarily offer budget meals ahead of their lease renewal, as well as 120 privately owned coffee shops

Do u feel we have over empathsize on materialastic factors in our society?

Are we sending right message to our kids and setting a good example.

TBH, i am very supportive of PM Wong idea to move away from 5C. Our country need to think and chart a road for substainable future...rather than falsed prosperity mirages like Tiongkok had encountered

Talk cock lah. He want to move away from the 5 C then he should set an example and reduce his obscene salary by 80%

The Pappies will always tell S'poreans to do as they say, and not do as they do.

Budget meals = kid's meal. Adults will need to order at least 3 portions to be full.

It must be the biggest guff ever uttered by a prime minister that can be the apex of hypocrisy.by a stateman. How can a sane (maybe questionable) PM Lawrence Wong spout such egregious crap in his message of emphazising the need for a broader definition of success in Singapore to move away from the SC's - cash, car, credit card, condominium and country club - citing their adverse effects.

What kind of abject hypocrisy is that when the prime minister and his cohorts are wallowing in luxury with their obscene astronimical pay while the plebeian Singaporeans are struggling with a high cost of living? PM Lawrence Wong has not even touched on the neccesity of reducing the obscene ministerial pay when there is now a torrent of of demand to start looking into the urgency of modifying down the astronomical ministerial salaries which PM Lawrence Wong may ignore at his peril.

There is a very caustic article in the Independent Singapore website today by Academic Prof Donald Low of Hong Kong University which calls out PAP's hypocrisy, blatant double standard and self-righteousness which he derided as contemptible..He does not mince his words in admonishing the PAP to stop its preaching and talking down to the people and check its hypocritical holier-than-thou attitude. Prof Low was the Associate Dean executive and education at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore before he resigned in 2018. He now teaches at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.

His pungent critique covers the period from Lee Hsien Loong as prime minister and extends to our parvenu prime minister Lawrence Wong who started promisingly as an iconoclast but seems to slide into disorientation, especially on the critical matter of reducing he obscene ministerial pay. He seems to be enraptured by Lee Hsien Loong's affluent luxurious livelihood and the thought of relinguishing it is now an aversion to him, notwithstanding whether the queston of plundering the people's wealth can be a denouement into something more ominous now or in the future to force the hands of PM Lawrence Wong to concede to public demand.

The prerequisite for becoming a PAP leeder is that you must be a fucking hypocrite, subtle or overt.
